Dotty's Pastries & Coffee [ TTDI ]- Salted Egg Fever!~*

img_2226-2
First feed popped out when I swap on my phone this morning was this crazy yellow creamy smooth-textured salted-egg croissant photo.

Immediately, I print screen and sent it to my breakfast buddy. Next , get ready and drive to destination.

This beautiful place is the home of the famous salted egg yolk cronut!


They have time for the freshly baked salted egg yolk cronut: 11am, 1pm and 3pm. I have also read a lot of reviews saying that even they have booked earlier and still didn't manage to get any of them when they reached.

We waited for 30minutes. If you're planning to take away, you can actually just walk in and need not to wait outside. We were served with a small cold mixed sour plum drinks while waiting under the sun.

20160528_125423

Dotty's serve some other main course too other than pastries.

20160528_131903

Charcoal salted egg cruffin.

This was just OK for me. I prefer the creamy liquid form salted egg fillings . This is more to a custard textured which don't really have the YUMs kind of excitement XD..

20160528_131937

Salted egg doughnut.

20160528_132347

Good!

20160528_132048

Salted egg toast! 'The square thing' is what I called it when I drop order from the waiter ..Well there are too many salted egg products in the shop XD..

BEST OF ALL! Personally I love this salted egg French toast the most! MUST TRY!

20160528_131552

I am not a fan of doughnut. So, I was a bit regret pointed at this doughnut while placing order. I took a bite and then just left it aside. I ACTUALLY WANTED TO ORDER THE SALTED EGG CRONUT... I didn't see any of them while checking up at the counter on what to order ... sold out I guess...

20160528_133733

Lamb Stew. The side bread taste nice.

Another bulking day instead.

Satisfied with the salted egg French toast.

Cambodia- Siem Reap~* TARANTULA AND SCORPION VIDEO ATTACHED

A short getaway on the 1st of May 2016- Siem Reap, Cambodia.

From the very first point, poke on the ASEAN map blindly and chose Cambodia is because that I never been to there before.

There are more comments which saying Siem Reap is more happening than Phnom Penh so yea Let's go! ;)

Day 1 

uri_mr1461882568239

The local time is one hour earlier than Malaysia. Funniest question came out once we touched down at the airport:

'I am not sure if we are at the right place for holiday..' ... ...

IT IS SO PEACEFUL HERE!!! OK Let's explore!

20160429_085003

We got out taxi ticket from the airport counter for about USD10 to get to our hotel.

20160429_081027

Cambodian are really hardworking and they are aggressive in earning money. The taxi driver non-stop persuading us to hire him as our driver for the whole tour even if we said we have already booked a tuk-tuk. Anyhow, i think that it is good that they have the positive attitude to earn a living.

Our hotel is located at the city centre which is walking distance to the most happening street of the town- Pub Street. 

S Hotel Siem Reap

20160429_082637-1

A short brief from the receptionist on WHAT, WHERE, WHICH and WHEN to go.

20160429_083748

Some complimentary welcome drinks and snack while we checking in.

20160429_082926


The very first thing we step out from the hotel after we checked in, immediately i returned and get my umbrella and put on sunblock! SCORCHING! The sun blazes down from a cloudless azure sky. I AM NOT JOKING THAT I AM FEELING THE BURN! 

OK next... FOOD PLEASE. HUNGRY MAX! 

We took our brunch at one of the restaurant in Pub Street. Pardon me for not writting down the restaurant name.. as i was too hungry.. just go in, order and eat and left. LOL.

Since it was just a short 3 days 2 nights trip, the very first thing we do is to visit one of the seven world wonder- Angkor Wat.

It was the first photo taken when we started our journey, so i actually can still smiling sweeeetly... Excuse me for the following weird smiley face as it was just too hot to squeesh a smile by then..


20160429_091316

Another gentle reminder, put on face mask if you are travelling with a tuk-tuk as it is very dusty on the road.

Finally ... i thought we reached.. but no.. this is just the place where we buy ticket ..

20160429_104447

I was actually bit erm upset with my ONLY precious souvenir for myself in Siem Reap. I was hoping to get a big smiley face on the my lovely Angkor Wat cert. However, they took my photo just one glimpse after they asked me to take down my sunglass and so there it goes... my Angkor Wat certificate...


20160429_104202

Continue tuk-tuk journey to Ankor Wat.

Ok Enough ! Time for food!

After we back to hotel and got some rest, we walked to the nearest restaurant with the most customers.

The Moon Cuisine

20160429_201845

Khmer Red Curry Beef 

20160429_194054

Mixed Pork

20160429_192342

Spring Roll

20160429_194142

Fish Amok

20160429_194215


These are all the recommended Khymer dishes in the restaurant. I love the fish amok and spring roll the most. Spring roll is a must for my every meal in Siem Reap xD.. Food served with good quality and good service. Price will be slightly higher as it is located at the tourist site.

Pub Street

20160430_221140

20160430_221129

I must say. The alcohol beverages here are super cheap!!! At least, way cheaper than in Malaysia.

uri_mr1461937923773

Pub Street is just a 5 minutes walking distance from our Hotel. So, we chose to chilled at there for the 2 nights. The whole street is the most happening street i guess among all others in that area. There is also a night market across the river linked by a bridge which is just in front of the Pub Street.

20160430_182713

Night Market



20160430_182640

There are local souvenirs selling in the night market. It is suitable for those who wish to get some small gifts or souvenirs for friends and family.

We had special supper for the night.

Our first time encountering this special dish: Balut.

Balut: A developing bird embryo (usually a duck or chicken) that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It originates and is commonly sold as street-food in the Philippines. They are common food in countries in Southeast Asia.

20160429_233212

While we walking back to our hotel , we saw a tuition centre. An open concept tuition centre which is open for the public and for free. There are plenty of volunteer English who retired or having long vacation here teaching the cambodian kids without receiving a penny. I love how they give back to the society and i would love to see this more at other 3rd world countries too.

20160429_185934

Thats all for the day 1.

Day 2

 Siem Reap Old Market

Siem Reap Old Market(Psah Chas, pronounced “psa cha”) is the one most people will get to know though. Right in the heart of town. They’ve got clothing, spices, housewares, jewellery, rat-traps, fabrics and detergent for washing them, souvenirs, DVDs and, of course, food, and they cater to absolutely everyone in town.

Fruist and vege and us :D

A very leisure day since we had visited the most important place of our trip- Angkor Wat.  Thus, we just walk around.. and around...

20160430_155345

20160430_131406

After a long walk, we went for the local massage centre for a good relaxing hour!

20160430_132736

uri_mr1461997813846

Then walk around again.

There was this special restaurant which made me stopped by and take some photos. Initially , we thought of having a tea break there but it only open after 5pm.

Asana Old Wooden House

20160430_143606

Is is one of the recommended listing in Trip Advisor. For those who are visiting Siem Reap may drop by and chill here ;)

Day 2 was not as hot as Day 1 but it was still very sunny. Under the hot sun, walking at a dry and dusty street, we then found a place to have a tea break.

20160430_115250

After the short break, we went to the Hard Rock Cafe. I think i should be collecting badges like everyone do now XD
